Norton wins Emmy

...but Spaced doesn't

Graham Norton has won an International Emmy for his Channel 4 chat show.

He scooped the prize in the popular arts category for his So Graham Norton series.

Absolutely Fabulous stars Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley handed him the trophy at a ceremony in New York.

Norton beat another Channel 4 show, Spaced, German show Was Guckst Du?! (What Are You Looking At?) and the final of the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant to win the award.

Cold Feet was nominated in the drama category, where it was beaten by ITV drama Dirty Tricks, starring Martin Clunes.
